As traditional and ancestral as French names like «Colette» and «Léon», the vineyards and wines of Beaujolais are rooted in the heritage of France. The Beaujolais is a lovely area with a rolling landscape and beautiful villages built in golden stone. And it is this charm, a touch old-style but so typical and convivial, that «Colette et Léon» wines aim to convey.
«Colette & Léon» bring everyone the chance to toast the French way to the simple pleasures of Life!

Set around a robe that goes from deep ruby to dark garnet, this wine gives off floral and fruity aromas of violet and cherry in its first years moving on to iris, spice and ripe fruit up to overblown rose, truffle, musk and even venison. Well-built and complex, Moulin-à-Vent is an intense, tannic wine.
This wine matches perfectly with meat meals such as beef with a creamy mushrooms sauce. It goes also very well with strong cheeses.
